If some of that was in the school newspaper here, it would be a scandal of epic proportions (and the College Republicans would eat us all alive ...).

Yea, I guess I understand what you mean. Here, however, we're pretty free to write anything we want in our paper. There are a couple of strong conservative opinion writers in our paper. They weren't in that issue, though. Take a look at some back issues and you'll see what I mean. I think our paper is pretty good, though. The administration doesn't censor it as much as other schools. And when people get upset, they usually write counter-editorials. Free speech...it's beautiful.
